Re: [Ambassadors] what can I do in Iran?

Of course if Fedora is indeed barred from distribution on your area,  
you could always work with a Fedora based distribution that isn't  
subject to US law. However of course that would mean support would be  
more limited. Hopefully we'll be able to resolve this easily.

what can I do in Iran?

[itamar]

my suggestion is to create a fork of fedora wih another name

something like fedoiran

then you need to grab fedora sources and recompile yourself

you will need to build your own build system, something like koji

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/

Unfortunately that would be a violation of the usage guidelines for
the "Fedora" trademarks:
